[kepler-dev] modifying kepler web service module

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Matt,

    The Webservice implementation didn't include the new features of 
current Kepler truck. So feel free to update it. Thanks.
  
    Your modification points look good. I'll keep in touch with Jing to 
help in case of unpredicted problems.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
